I had been waiting for a while to see this movie. I finally saw it last night. What do I think? 8 out of 10 I suppose eight of ten is a pretty good score. I can’t say that this movie met my expectations. Rather, it went a slightly different route than I thought. I’d …

“On and On” by Chasen I find myself going to their MySpace to listen to this song frequently. This is a song I wish I could sing at karaoke. It’s partially because I think it’s good, and partially because I think I can sing it properly. Well, unless they become huge in Japan (or through …
